[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 267875, member: 412"] Puffy jacket/pants if you're going to do long glassing sits. Small roll of tape that works in the cold, 3M Super 33+ electrical tape is a good choice, cheap and brittle electrical tape is not. Some manner of starting a fire. I realize you're day hunting, but, things happen. Knees/ankles get twisted, etc. A way to start a fire is cheap, light, and easy to haul. A few zip ties are also a good idea. They can temporarily fix a lot of stuff. Again, light, don't take up much room, and exceptionally handy when you need one. You can fix any manner of fastener (buckle, buttons, straps, etc). In a pinch you could zip-tie a boot shut, your pants shut. Fix a rifle sling. Hold a pack shut or fix a pack strap. In a pinch, you could zip-tie a carcass in place in steep country which might be handy if you're working on one alone. Optics cleaning cloth in a zip-lock. Don't use it for anything else. Put it back in the ziplock to keep it dry and clean. Compass. They work even when a GPS or phone won't. Gray flat-light days can really turn a person around, even in familiar territory. Flashlight/headlamp. Low-light is the time of day you're most likely to kill something. No sense in trying to gut/skin/quarter by feel alone. [/QUOTE]
